Immediately, Li Qian personally led Mo Xuan and the others into the household department.

Lin Fei also followed the trend, and everyone entered the accounting room of the household department.

Li Qian said to Mo Xuan: "Please look, my lord, the accounts of this household department are sorted and sorted into categories. All the accounts related to business and tax that my lord wants to see are here. Ask the people below to find out the accounts that have been handed in over the years by the business firm run by the Wangfei family in the East China Sea."

Hearing Li Qian's words, Mo Xuan immediately said, "Master Li doesn't need to do this. You only need to find out those old accounts, and you don't need to make detailed divisions. My people will naturally look at them. Thinking about it, the Ministry of Household Affairs is now It's a busy time, and there are a lot of accounts for a year, I'm just looking at the old accounts, and there is no conflict with you, you just do what you want, I will take care of myself."

Li Qian said with a smile: "These accounts involve a lot. The princess holds the imperial edict, so the officials dare to show them to the princess, but it is only limited to the princess. The officials ordered them to find out. Zhou Quan himself, please don't embarrass the concubine and dismiss her as an official."

Mo Xuan sneered, "Master Li said this, why did I ever embarrass you, in fact, I think these accounts are also for better management in the future, and I can obtain the imperial edict from the emperor, which is also derived from the diplomatic relations between the two countries. Since the two countries have diplomatic relations, since the two countries have diplomatic relations, the business under my father's business has contributed to you a lot of benefits."

"It's natural, but one yard counts for one yard. It's okay for the princess to check the old accounts related to you. There are a lot of business taxes. If..."

"Then please take a closer look, Master Li. Is it okay for me to write in this oracle?" Mo Xuan interrupted without waiting for Li Qian to finish speaking.

Upon hearing this, Li Qian immediately opened the oracle and carefully read the content on it. When he was at the gate of the household department just now, he didn't pay much attention to it. This...

Lin Fei walked in and said softly: "Since Princess Cheng is holding the oracle, let the princess take a closer look and find out all those old accounts."

"Yes." Li Qian heard what the prime minister said, and complied.

Mo Xuan looked at Lin Fei, and said with a smile: "After all, the Prime Minister is still reasonable, yes, the accounts of this account department are not all clear, and they are still done very beautifully, but just check and understand, what can be learned? Get in the way."

Lin Fei didn't say much, but saw some servants from the household department over there carrying a few big boxes. Li Qian ordered the people to open those boxes, pointed to the neatly stacked account books in the boxes, and said, "Princess, these It is the accounts related to commercial taxation in recent years, the princess likes it, so take a closer look."

"Thank you very much." Mo Xuan said casually, and then gestured to those accountants who followed him.

Seeing this, Li Qian said, "If there is anything unclear about the princess, just come to the lower official. There are still many things to be adjusted by the lower official, so I can't be here with the princess all the time."

"No need." Mo Xuan looked at Lin Fei at the side, "Master Prime Minister, do you want to accompany me here to look at these accounts?"

"I'm just here to care about the six affairs. I heard that Princess Cheng is here, so I came here to see. The princess looks at the accounts, so what does it have to do with me." Lin Fei walked out from here.

Looking at Lin Fei, Li Qian and others who came out from here, Jiang Yao, who was standing beside Mo Xuan, asked softly: "Princess, it's a little surprising that they have changed like this. At first, they were still a little awkward. Some excuses to refuse?"

"Of course, the prime minister feels that the accounts of the Ministry of Accounts are flawless all these years. Besides, I have an oracle in my hand. At this time, he keeps blocking it again and again. On the contrary, it will arouse some suspicion. Why don't you just let me read it quickly, after reading it, the matter will be over."

Jiang Yao said coldly, "It's just that he doesn't know that what the princess is going to do has never been easy to pass."

Mo Xuan smiled lightly and sat down beside her.

……

At this end, Li Qian who came out of the accounting room led Lin Fei to a very secret room in the household department.

Li Qian's indifference outside just now has completely dissipated, replaced by infinite anxiety and worry, "My lord, what's going on? Why does Princess Cheng suddenly ask for a piece of advice from the emperor?" We didn't even know about such an edict beforehand, that the emperor would allow Princess Cheng to come to the household department to check the old accounts. Although it only involves business tax, the emperor let her check it casually, which is simply incredible. The emperor ascended the throne In the past few years, the accounts submitted by the Ministry of Households have been approved, could it be that the emperor has doubts?"

"Doubts are just doubts. There is no need to doubt things without evidence. The emperor asked Mo Xuan to investigate because of Mo Xuan's identity. It is true that we have relied on the Heavenly Power Kingdom these years. The business of the East China Sea Kingdom is He is more handsome than before, and among them, Mo Xuan's mother's family has absolute support. He has come to Donghai country now and wants to take over all his family's properties in Donghai country, and he is also the identity of Princess Cheng. Think clearly about these things , It is the easiest and most convenient thing to come to the household department to check the accounts."

"What your lord said is true, but this official is always a little uneasy. Things happen suddenly, and there is always something strange, especially since he became the emperor. The matter is calm on the surface, but the tide is raging inside." Li Qian couldn't let go of his worry, "My lord, tell me, if Princess Cheng finds out the errors and omissions in the accounts of the household department, what will happen next?"

"The accounting of the Ministry of Accounts is very detailed, and it is screened layer by layer. If any one fails, it is impossible to register it. If everything can be taken out, it is absolutely impossible to make mistakes. You have nothing to worry about."

"Yes." Li Qian replied, but still felt a little uneasy in his heart. After thinking about it, he said again: "My lord, although the account submitted by the chamber of commerce at the bottom enters the account department, our people will completely revise it. If Princess Cheng finds the old accounts of the chamber of commerce that were not registered with the Ministry of Accounts, and then compares them with the accounts that the Ministry of Accounts included in the treasury, there is a mistake in it, my officer..."

Lin Fei frowned when he heard Li Qian's words, "You want to say that today's incident was controlled by the emperor behind the scenes."

"On the surface, it seems reasonable and reasonable for Princess Cheng to check the old accounts, but the accounts of the Ministry of Accounts have been intervened by outsiders before, and our account reconciliations are evened up and down, but once the middle layer is eliminated, the accounts will be directly If you do the comparison, it will be a big trouble." Li Qian thought about it and said: "My lord, for the current plan, it is impossible for us to destroy the accounts of all the commercial firms of her family in the East China Sea held in the hands of Princess Cheng. , but we can try to destroy the accounts that belonged to the palace, so that even if Princess Cheng finds out the mistakes, there is no proof."

"Since you have to do it, start it as soon as possible, and don't drag your feet."

"Yes, I understand." Li Qian responded with a condensed voice.

Lin Fei looked at the person in front of him, "You must take care of the affairs of the Ministry of Households for me. You must not cause anything to happen because of Mo Xuan's intervention. The matter of the Forbidden Army has become like that, and you have already lost the upper hand. This time, you must not Give him a chance to do something unfavorable."

"Yes." Li Qian said softly, "My lord, but the existence of Princess Cheng is a disaster after all. We still need to plan as soon as possible. Princess Cheng is in the way. Only when she disappears completely, we will never have any future troubles." , after all, the Queen Mother would try to get him to come to Yingzhou City, and it is not unreasonable to become Princess Cheng."

"Let's deal with the matter in front of us first."

Li Qian nodded, and sent the Prime Minister out of the household department.

It's just that as soon as they came out, a person rushed over, "It's good that the adults are here."

Li Qian looked at the hurried people and asked, "Why are you so flustered?"

"Master Chen Yuan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, has just been summoned to the palace by the emperor, and now he is in the imperial study."

Lin Fei's expression was serious, "What's going on."

"My lord, the imperial censor handed over a note to the emperor in private, impeaching Mr. Chen for using his power for personal gain, abusing his power, and seeking official positions for his relatives. ..."

"useless."

"My lord Prime Minister's words really have a lot of meaning, but listening to such charges, I really can't be considered a good official. The duty of the Ministry of Officials is to select suitable talents for the emperor, but in the end, all this happened. This Mr. Chen Not really."

Lin Fei looked back and saw Mo Xuan who came out, "Princess Cheng is not looking at the account, why did she come out here?"

"I'm not good at reading accounts, so I leave it to someone who understands to handle it. I'm going to the palace now, and I want to go to the accounts of the treasury to retrieve some old accounts, so I can have a clearer comparison. right."

Li Qian immediately said: "Prince Cheng's move is to conduct a thorough investigation of the accounts of the Ministry of Accounts?"

"Mr. Li's words are wrong. I don't have that much effort. I only look at what is related to me. How could it involve the accounts of the account checking department?" Mo Xuan looked at Lin Fei, "Mr. Prime Minister, Minister of the Ministry of Officials He is also a subordinate of the prime minister, or else the prime minister will enter the palace with me, anyway, I will go along."

"No, if the emperor summons him, he will naturally send someone to summon him."

"That's right, after all, if this kind of thing is really as correct as Yushi's impeachment, this Minister of the Ministry of Officials must have done it well, and the prime minister should also choose himself cleanly, otherwise what should he do if he is implicated?" What! Shang Shu is a second-rank member of the imperial court, and those are all important positions in the imperial court. A person in such a position naturally seeks the capable ones, and the Prime Minister must think so too." Mo Xuan said very Casual, but the more plain the words are spoken, the more ironic the meaning will be.

"The result is not yet clear. Is it too early for Princess Cheng to say such a thing?"

"I'm just talking casually. Why are you being so serious, Mr. Prime Minister? Since Mr. Prime Minister won't go, then I will enter the palace first." Mo Xuan smiled, and went straight into the carriage of Prince Cheng's Mansion and left.

Lin Fei looked at the carriage going away, "How did Chen Yuan do things, and such things happened under his own hands, and he didn't know how to clean his ass when something happened."

"My lord, I can't think so much now, my lord still thinks about how to help Chen Yuan." Li Qian thought about it and said, "I think that the strange thing happened must have something to do with Prince Cheng's mansion secretly."

Li Qian looked at the cold face of the person in front of him, and when the words were settled, he just remained silent.
